Online schooling affords people benefits and opportunities that would otherwise be unattainable. Additionally commuting every day each time and money that we could work a job or care for family or even perform civic duties.  If I were not allowed to be in this school as it currently is set up I would have had to move back in with my parents quit my job and use every government assistance to survive Medicaid, food stamps, etc. In other words I would not have pursued this opportunity or education.
